Hello all,

this seems to be a perennial problem, one which I feel may have a now forgotten solution.

I can't snap to the intersection of two inscribed ellipses. It's an intermittent problem, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For example I just went to make an example drawing to accompany this post and I could snap to the intersection of two inscribed ellipses in that drawing, but it does not work in the drawing I have linked below.

I don't know how to recreate the problem, but I've had it a few times since I started using LibreCAD.

Any help appreciated.

EDIT: so I've just opened the above drawing in LibreCAD running on top of Debian 12 and snap intersection works on the ellipses there, but it doesn't work on Windows 11. However, I have had this same problem in the past on Debian 12, so I don't know what specifically is different now I've tried on a different OS.
